To find the unit price per meter, you need to divide the total cost by the total length in meters.
The cost of the roll of paper is $3.83, and the length of the roll is 8 meters.
Using the formula for unit price:
\[
\text{Unit price} = \frac{\text{Total cost}}{\text{Total length}} = \frac{3.83}{8}
\]
Calculating that gives:
\[
\frac{3.83}{8} = 0.47875
\]
Rounding this to the nearest cent:
\[
0.47875 \approx 0.48
\]
Therefore, the unit price is:
\[
\mathbf{0.48} \text{ per meter}
\]
